Columbia University President Resigns Amid Protests

As the fall semester approaches, college campuses are bracing for intensified protests related to the Israel-Hamas conflict, following the resignation of Columbia University's president amidst growing unrest. Experts, such as Dr. Glenn Duerr from Cedarville University, warn that new protest policies may lead to increased tensions and potential violence as students organize under groups like Students for Palestine and the Young Democratic Socialists of America. The American Association of University Professors has criticized these restrictions, arguing they undermine free speech and the right to assembly. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, student-led demonstrations have resulted in the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, with leaders considering forming a new political party to solidify their reforms. The situation highlights a global trend where student activism is reshaping political landscapes and campus dynamics. As protest organizers gear up, the outcome of these movements remains uncertain but potentially impactful.
